Product Quality Leader

At IKEA Food we constantly challenge ourselves to develop our ways of working in order to meet the needs of the many people. IKEA is expanding into many new markets over the coming years, part of our assignment as IKEA Range & Supply is to ensure that the customers in these new markets can meet the IKEA food range in our stores. To support this need we have put in place an expansion team (on a temporary basis, until the end of FY21) working across the total food offer with focus on new markets. Each new market differs in complexity and the tasks vary from very detailed issues to very strategic activities.
